Be on sensory alert and always stay curious. Speak out against wrongs and what makes you furious. Use caution when out on the street. Don't just rub up on any one you meet. Stay finicky about any thing you eat.. Pay close attention to your hygiene, always keep those front paws clean.. If you want to live those nine lives, better find time...

Poets were given nine lives a year ago During the pandemic. Didn’t you know? I used my first life in January, when I fell in the snow. Lost until my soul had left. Oh, what woe! Luckily, life number two took me through Valentine’s Day. I had Zoom meetings to attend, and Google Meets along the way. I got zapped by...

Nine little kittens, each with nine lives! It's a surprise how each of them thrives. Two nearly drowned in the pool next door: one caught between an old attic floor. Two were trapped in a box overnight; two got abscesses in a catfight. Another fell down off a high roof; the last just missed a horse's huge hoof. More lives to go! This...

Nine Lives
Nine lives my rear Just one too short Never again we say Then a kitten appears So tiny and playful Lively lovely soft Easy to deny the end Again over again We know the pain to be But bond without fail Sorting through the photos Recall not the sad dying But the joy of a life Gifts of mice and warm laps Laughing at (not with) Earnest battles with...

Nine Lives
He stares at his liquor bottle, and remembers the time he sacrificed his life to the ocean depths; a dolphin steadily rushed him to the shallows, then allowed the evening currents to carry him to the shores. That night he erased the X he had put on his calendar; the day he was to die. A few weeks back, he had...

A collaboration w/Richard Lamoureux Her child arrived in a secret way, hiding him nine months a heavy chore No daddy just some soldier home from war Poor little girl, woke up sad every day She found a cat in the cradle with a silver spoon and a ladle Her baby drowned in the tub, sometimes love can be fatal Heavy sighs under the moon Passion...

I struck out on my own around a year old life was so full of fun, so many things with which to play, a leaf scuttling by, a rustle in the undergrowth. I was enthralled.
